Costco is getting in the iPad preorder game like everyone else, for $299.99 preorder, shipping on 10/1/21. Where this can potentially becomes a slicker deal is if you're planning to order 2 (1 of each color) and haven't used your $50 off $500 like me. So total will look like this if you're ordering 2:
$599.98 +$50 coupon = $549.98 before taxes
That comes out to around $275 per iPad before taxes, $25 cheaper than most current deal. As I've said, slickness will depend on that $50 coupon. If you haven't used yours, you can initiate chat on Costco website and they should issue you a new one.
I should add that price offer will only last til 10/1 and limit only 1 per customer now but you can add 1 of each color. And I believe Costco has one of the most generous return policy, 90 days. So in theory you could buy and wait til mid December to see if there's a better deal.
Update:
Back in stock.

Yeah, I think it was supposed to be emailed out to selected customers as I don't remember getting one, but someone mentioned chatting with Costco rep, so I did, and they reissued me one. Doesn't hurt to try if you haven't used such coupons. I was planning to use it on the iPad Air but I think this is a better deal.
Please read the post.
Your calculation in body shows 599
No it does not. Please read again. It mainly depends on if you have access to the $50 off $500 coupon.

I was just about to mention this. It looks like Costco has pulled a fast one on us. They limit it down to just 1 now, which kinda render this deal obsolete, although it wouldn't stop anyone from say adding an iPad Mini along with the iPad 9th Gen and using the $50 coupon.
Luckily for me, I was able to order the 2 iPads this morning when I posted this thread ^^,

I was able to add one of each color on the cart I am not sure if it will let me check out or no since if I haven't tried to checkout!
Heh that's a great workaround. I think it should work though I can't be certain since I already bought 2. I was able to add 1 of each and got all the way to the final checkout step but I haven't ordered for obvious reason.
